Re: What shifter do you have?
I posted this in the FX3 discussion: "I had Marc install a Hurst shifter in my 95 this past summer as I had done on my 93 many years ago. It has the stock knob on it and looks completely stock, which I like. I originally switched because when I had a CD in the player and it was ejected and sticking out, I would hit it shifting into third gear and push it back in. Mostly I like the short throw. It is more mechanical sounding than the stock shifter because it lacks a rubber bushing that the stock one has. Overall I am glad I did it again."
Having said that, I voted on the poll that I have a stock shifter/short throw because it looks stock. Maybe we should have called it an aftermarket shifter/short throw.--Bob

Bill Boudreau's shifter is much better than the hurst. (Had the hurst attached to my old transmission and got a new one with Bill's attached) Loved it so much, i gave my hurst shifter with my old transmission Bill's is far superior! David |

Re: What shifter do you have?
Have expirence with stock long throw, BB mod short throw, and the Hurst.
The BB is the best for the street but prefer the more positive feel of the Hurst for the track.

Re: What shifter do you have?
Good to know. I have to admit while mine is precise and reasonably easy to shift it is a bit clunky without the rubber bushing. But I guess I am used to it, and since I just put it in I think I'll keep it for a while. - Bob

Re: What shifter do you have?
WAZOO just installed a Hurst Billet Plus short shifter in my 92 yesterday.
I love it!

Re: What shifter do you have?
That's the setup on mine too, Charlie. Feels nice. Bill Bs may be better but it's still a nice mod. Glad you like it.
